Soft robots are flexible machines made from soft materials, allowing them to adapt to their environment and perform tasks that traditional rigid robots cannot. They often mimic the movements of living organisms, such as octopuses or worms, making them suitable for delicate tasks like handling fragile objects or navigating complex spaces. These robots use various technologies, including inflatable structures and shape-memory alloys, to achieve their movements. Their design enables them to squeeze through tight spaces or conform to different shapes, which is particularly useful in fields like medicine for minimally invasive surgeries or in search and rescue operations.
